All Things D reports that invitations have been sent out by Apple for their next big event that’s expected to unveil the latest model of the iPad and iPad Mini. The event is scheduled for October 22nd at the Yerba Beuna Center for the Arts, and the invite reads “We still have a lot to cover.”

Apple announced new iPod Nanos and iPod Touches today as expected. In addition, iTunes 8 was announced. All the stuff we knew was coming due to leaks. What we didn’t get were new features or the notification service (originally promised for this month, but pulled from developer betas recently) for the iPhone OS.

While iPhone OS 2.1 was announced, it’s a bug release fix only. Promised fixes include improved iTunes backup times, fewer dropped calls, better reception, better battery life, and fixing app crashes. We’ll see when it’s released Friday for iPhones. iPhone OS 2.1 comes on the new Touch out today so expect some reviews online in the next couple hours.

The Apple Store is down, I’ve got coffee in hand, anxiously reloading Engadget, Gizmodo, and Ars Technica for the news today from the Apple press event. We’ll tweet the big highlights on our twitter stream — follow us for those highlights. And we’ll post a news story here with all the gritty details after it’s done.
